FIRMPROFILE When we founded Nexeo in 2002, our ambition was to create a company that would bring together innovation, expertise and strong human and ethical values. Our solid growth strategy draws on a cohesive and complementary set of approachable operational entities. Specialising in the digital transformation, we provide our expertise to support our clientsʼ needs. Working in a caring environment, we cultivate a genuinely interpersonal relationship with all employees and make their well- being our key concern. At Nexeo, we believe that responding to tomorrowʼs challenges means thinking and acting differently starting today: Commitment, Collective Intelligence and Ongoing Innovation are the hallmarks of our enterprise plan. In an accelerating and changing world, we help our clients in Banking-Finance-Insurance to adapt and transform their processes and information systems. We ensure that every project creates value through tailored support and high-quality services: our proven methodological know-how, our ongoing innovation drive and our ability to deliver cross- functional, tailored services are among our most important assets. Meanwhile, every individualʼs commitment and growth drive our development. Our mission: To ensure that every project achieves long-term added value for our clients.

Our commitments: Ethics & Proficiency From the very start of Nexeo in 2002, we made a strong commitment: Ethics and Proficiency. Since then, regardless of whether the market is on a high or low, we remain firmly connected to these choices and our vision, which is focused on the long-term. Because of both our nature and our culture, we endeavour to ensure weʼre attentive to our clients so that we always provide the best technical and functional skills. Our employee recruitment, training and monitoring policy, as well as our drive to plan ahead for technological and financial developments, serve as proof of our values. Our values: Commitment, Sharing, Consideration The intellectual services industry can sometimes be guided by opportunism. From the very start, we decided to define a corporate plan that is driven by the employees themselves. Our employeesʼ satisfaction is primarily a result of instilling a collective plan in which every individual can be fulfilled, plan ahead, understand their role and measure their contribution. Faced with fundamental shifts in the Banking-Finance-Insurance industries, our experts help their clients to define and implement their IT strategy. From industrialisation to technological innovations and the growing volume of regulations, the financial and insurance industries have been faced with the need to transform their business models over the last 10 years.
